We're having friends over for dinner tomorrow and I had the task of going to pick up more t-bones at Metro. You have no idea how giddy it makes me feel to type that. Even better is the thought of getting another 10 big juicy t-bones fresh off the bull from our butcher...
Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken – I have the ingredients for that
I had to get creative for dinner last night since we’re running low on supplies…again. But this recipe didn’t require anything special so it won. I’ve added more spice to the original version but the chicken always turns out nice and juicy. We served it with rice and...
Chicken Ranch Pizza – Pizza we probably won’t have again
I came across this pizza recipe recently and thought it sounded interesting so we tried it out a few nights ago with a few changes that I’ve noted below. I have been requested not to make it again, not only because Stefan didn’t think the recipe had much flavor – but...
Fondue feast
Shortly before Mack arrived, I found a special edition of Lecker magazine (literally meaning tasty) full of fantastic sounding Christmas and New Year's recipes. Then when we discussed having fondue here over New Year's, I recommended we try their recipes for dipping...
Cooking and trimming
The house is full today as both my mom and Stefan's parents are spending Christmas at our house. A feast is being prepared to mirror what we would have had on Thanksgiving since we missed it this year: turkey, stuffing, current relish, fresh rolls, salad, sweet...
Milk. It does a body good
One of the many things included in the new mommy package I got at the hospital was breastmilk tea, full of all sorts of herbs that are meant to help stimulate the production of milk. I honestly wasn't even considering drinking this stuff because it smells like black...
Care packages of tastiness
Stefan had the pleasure of visiting the customs office today. Somehow he managed to get the customs agent to have mercy on him and he let him leave without paying anything. Stefan was doing his best to play dumb - it apparently worked. One of the magical packages that...
Two Meals – One Bird
I finally tried another of the meal plan recipes I'd wanted to experiment with for a whole roast chicken with herbed mushrooms. The recipe was quite simple (once I figured out what exactly was supposed to be tied where on the chicken) although a whole chicken always...
Thanksgiving: Just Desserts
Usually the only dessert that matters to me on Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie. I will make about 6 of them, share 1-2 with family and friends on Turkey day and then hoard the rest until I eat them all. Ok, now I do actually share them with my husband...and I guess I will...
Rolls that melt in your mouth…like buttah
I find that there are few things in life better than a good dinner roll. When I came across a sweet dinner rolls recipe last Thanksgiving, I was a little skeptical despite all the great reviews. But after making them myself, I know what all the fuss is about. One of...
